GETTING YOUR BURN PERMIT

Complete the following steps to obtain a burn permit:

​

1. Apply online for your burn permit

2. Obtain your burn permit from DVFR

3. Complete your burn as specified on your burn permit

​

A permit is only valid for the date specified on the burn permit. If you need to burn on multiple days, a new permit is required for each day.

You are required to have means to extinguish the fire for every burn. DVFR may inspect your proposed burn prior to issuing the final burn permit, and DVFR may stand-by to ensure your burn is completed safely.
